Her Ambition Realized.
Boston Letter to the Providence Jour,

Boston Letter to the Providence Journal
A city missionary related this interesting and
not wholly uninstructive tale in connection with
his labors among the destitute. The incident
occurred last winter but the moral is of a CON
tinued application that keeps it fresh.
He found, in the course of his examination of
certain district a woman who was not only
wretchedly destitute, but seriously i'll besides
She seemed very decent and not undeserving
person, an impression which accorded with the
reputation given her by her neighbors, and the
missionary interested himself in her behalf
calling TO his aid a couple of ladies who were
members of the associated charities. Every
thing needful for the comfort of the woman was
done. Her room was kept in order, she was
provided with a nurse, the young ladies brought
her delicacies, and when at last the patient was
thoroughly convalescent they presented her
with S. as a help toward starting her once more
on the way of earning her own living.
A day or two later the missionary called and
who evinced due gratitude for all the kindness
she had received. Then with an overlooking
sef-satisfaction and an absolutely child like de-
lgnt the pauper produced from a closet a new
and remarkably gay bonnet.
There, she SAID, beaming with satisfaction.
don't you think that is pretty? All my life We
wanted bonnet with feather in it, and when
got that 50 all at once, said TO myself that
now was my chance to have one The man
asked 81 for it, but told him SIS was all | had
and he'd have to let me have it for that and
true as you're alive he did"
The missionary looked at the bonnet. regarded
the woman, opened his lips, and wisely recog-
MIXING the futility OF remonStrance closed them
again. The story is literally true, and very
likely could be matched by any city visitor of
long experience,

Cotton Fires.

The number of fires that has occurred in
ships at this port. this season, loaded with
cotton is sufficiently large to cause consid-
cradle anxiety among those interested in the
cotton business. Three large cargoes have
been greatly damaged by fires within the
last two weeks, and the cotton season has
only fairly begun. OF course it doesn't
follow that other fires will occur before the
season is over but it is certainly time that
most thorough and vigorous investigation
Of the fires was made with the view of dis
covering if possible the cause of them. II
facts are discovered which admit of the
conclusion that they are the result of care
lessness then more rigid regulations for pro-
lection against fire must be made and en-
forced. If any evidence pointing to crime
Is found then careful search for the crimi-
mails should be made. II is apparent that
something should be done, because, if these
fires continue, the cotton business Of the
port will be paralyzed.
1t will not do TO admit that the causes of
the fires cannot be discovered and that there
is therefore, no use to attempt TO discover
them They may all result from the same
cause or from different causes, and careful
inquiry may lead to the adoption of precau-
lions that viii put stop to them, or at least
lessen the number of them.
On Tuesday there were three cotton fires,
one Of which-that OH Gordon's wharf-was
certainly due to carelessneSs 1t was caused
by a match that had been dropped, and it
might have destroyed a large amount of
property if it had not heen promptly smoth-
cred. Only few days ago a fire was dis
covered in some loose cotton in front of an
office of one of the cotton factors. Some
one had carelessly thrown lighted cigar
stump upon it. If there is carelessness in
one place, why may there not be careless
ness in another!
Those engaged in the handling of cotton
should not be permitted to carry matches
while at work. Doubtless there are
regulations providing all kinds of precau-
tions, but are they strictly enforced! When
regulations are made they are generally
enforced for time, and then are allowed
to fall into disuse. Vigilance must be con-
tinuous from the beginning of the cotton
season to the end of 1t if protection against
cotton fires is to be secured.

The Madrigal.
From, the Century.


Once, as | walked in the woodlands green,
/ CHANGED on Love where he sat alone
Catching the moles of the air, and sheen
From sunrays broken and downward thrown.
What are you doing, Love-" quoth l;
For Love and have been comrades true,
And | speak him freely when none are nigh
And he answers me as he might not you.
Il am making madrigal," he said;
II need but one rhyme to close it well"
And. 10 it seemed that spiders thread
Glanced in the light and he caught its spell.
Wonderful, beautiful, rare and sweet
IL lay there, perfect, upon his hand
IL throbbed with murmur, soft complete,
could not describe nor understand.
And how will you send it, Love?' quoth 1;
Alb, how he smiled! but he said no word;
But he beckoned me, and followed, shy,
lAnd we came on poet all unheard.
There as he dreamed did Love bestow
The little song in his ear content:
And fed SO quickly that none might know
Where it was written and how it was sent.

Yellow Springs on account Of the attempt
TO enforce co education of negro and white
children, says the community was famous
stronghold of the Abolitionists before 1861,
and was one of the most important stations

naturally think that in community with
such history negro children would be well

The New York Tribune is printing
great many letters, written in response to a
circular sent out by it, with the purpose of
finding out the true sentiment of the Grand
Army of the Republic relative to pensions.
The following extract from letter written
from Tarl1io, Mo-, shows the feeling enter
tanned by the more violent partisans
among Grand Army men: 1.-The worst in
suit OF this administration is the last (Cleve-
lands letter.. Does the fool not know tfor
fool or coward he must be) that there is no
assassin among the old guard to-day! We
know that the veterans are to-day the guard
of honor and law The nations President
is our President. We will vote him to his
deserved perdition, but would shield his
effeminate body and imbecile brain from
even an excessive caress of Mugwump.n
1t would be hard for even the most beSotted
partisan to find justification in Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter declining to visit st. Louis any
excuse for the insult put upon him by the
publication of such a letter as the one from
which this extract is taken.

Drawing Comparisons.

The Republican papers are finding great
deal of satisfaction apparently in compar-
ing the speeches of Mr. Blaine, delivered on
his tour through the country during the
last Presidential campaign, with those
which Mr.. Cleveland is now delivering.
They claim that Mr.. Blaines speeches
showed him to be man of brains, while
those of Mr. Cleveland afford convincing
proof of his mediocrity.
This sort Of talk not only indicates a great
lack of respect for the truth, but degree
of righteousness that any respectable jour
nal ought to be ashamed Of The fact that
a man is not a fluent public speaker is no
indication that he is not a man of. ability.
No Republican newspaper would assert
that Gen. Grant was not man of brains,
and yet he never showed any capacity as a
speechmaker. In fact, it was not until the
latter part of his political career that he
ever attempted to make more than a few
commonplace remarks when called upon
for speech.
1t is true that Mr. Blaine is a brilliant
public speaker, and that his speeches, when
he was travelling through the West in 1884,
"SAV - Oob ciiN "a AShC3 Oub ~ AAuSG bOO Do
forgotten that he had a great variety of
subjects to talk about, and that each sub
ject was sufficient for good speech 1t
wouldn't be in good taste for Mr. Cleveland
to discuss political questions. He is not on
political mission, and it would not be wise
for him to make political speeches. He is
virtually confined to common place subjects,
and it is impossible for him, therefore, to
make an oratorical display even if he were
capable of doing so.
He is getting along very well, and the
people are satisfied with his speeches. They
are not so anxious to hear him talk as they
are to shake hands with him. To shake
hands with thoroughly honest President is
something to remember and be proud of.
As for Mr.. Cleveland's ability, the success
of his administration proves that he is not
wanting in that respect.
